Hello Sym fans,
Our favorite Gardener's plush sample has made progress, you can see his embroidery below! Note that the plastic will be removed and is just on for the embroidery process. 
Our other manufacturer has many Exocolonist dolls to work on and is going on break for the Chinese New Year, but hopefully we get some more updates soon enough!

In the meantime, feel free to check out the next upcoming Exocolonist campaign: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/poayo-s-universe/growing-up-exocolonist

Hoodie swap
19 days ago – Tue, Feb 03, 2026 at 04:51:41 AM


Hello all!
Orders will be locking today, so make any last minute changes and make sure your surveys are complete!

When ordering outfits, it turns out we can get all of them! However, they are out of their previous yellow/blue hoodie designs and offered these instead. I am double checking they will fit 20cm with them now. They will still be coming with black pants as I will order those seperately with the Seraphic Hoodies! If you picked these two options previously and want to swap to another outfit within a few days after orders lock don't worry, just comment or message me! 

Future IWATEX Campaign Teaser, Sym update, Tiny Stickers
29 days ago – Sat, Jan 24, 2026 at 10:04:45 AM

Hello!
First of all, non pay over time surveys will close February 3rd- so you guys have a week left to confirm your final decision. You will also recieve another reminder closer to closing!

Secondly, Sym's manufacturer has gotten back to me with the embroidery visual- check it out! Be aware the colors here are not meant to be accurate- just shapes.


Next, the tiny sticker bundle has arrived! Below are photos of them laid out in a square. These stickers are quite thick with a nice texture to them!

Now for what you probably clicked on this update for... A teaser photo of Begonia and I's collaboration campaign! We have been working hard on creating a primary two-parter artwork for the project together. Begonia creating the sketch and lineart, and then me adding the colors, shading, and putting things together. Each of our portions took 35 hours each across many months to create a 70 hour effort artwork that includes every romanceable character as child and adult. Expect functional (and some decorative) items in this upcoming campaign! Are you as excited for it as we are?

Follow this upcoming campaign early for a free Vriki wallpaper!

Marz, Kom, Cal, and Tammy Update
about 1 month ago – Thu, Jan 15, 2026 at 02:41:10 PM

Hi there,
It's time for yet another design update! Mainly, hair designs have been simplified. The four new versions below have been passed on to the manufacturer in response to their previous notes. The three other than Tammy have not yet been confirmed yet but I wanted to update you on how they are looking at this time :)
Let me know what you think!

In other news, I have another campaign upcoming next week on the 22nd. It is on a different indie game called No, I'm Not a Human by Trioskaz. The Returning backer reward is a 2.5" matte sticker of Sym in the NINAH style! Anyone who backed this IWATEX dolls project who also backs this new project can get it as a freebie! There are also many other NINAH freebies available within the campaign.
Click here or the image below to check it out! Theres a pre-campaign follow freebie so make sure to do so if you plan on backing. 

Thanks for staying updated! 

Tammy's Hair - a Poll
about 1 month ago – Mon, Jan 12, 2026 at 12:06:16 PM

Hello Tammy fans!
Per the recent design review, I have learned the long back hair on tammy will not be able to have the detailed embroidery. This means we have a choice to make... How would you prefer Tammy's Hair?

1. Blown Fur

This hair type is the longest.
Pros: You can comb and style it, has a clean natural appearance
Cons: Hides embroidery behind it for the front of the hair, can get tangled, straight hair



2. Short Pile Rabbit Fur

This is the previously planned style. The hair is a wavy hair flap at the back.
Pros: Does not risk hiding any embroidery, hair has a wavy shape
Cons:
As it is a hair flap of short hair, it appears flat and a bit unnatural. 


What do you think of these two options? Would you prefer more to pick from?
